Interesting. How do you find that out?

Okay that’s one. But there gotta be like… what, 3 more tops?
Look, they only had $70m to work with, okay? You gotta make some compromises when you’re on such a shoestring budget.
Let us not forget the revolutionary idea to-- now pay attention cause this is BIG-- to prioritize player experience! Can’t believe nobody has thought of that before.
“Why do you have all of these screenshots of this thong witch squeezing some NPC’s head with her thighs?”
Oh uh it was for a joke post I made just as a joke. I can probably just delete them now, I just forgot.
Well I wasn’t gonna post all 82 but I just wanted to make sure I got the best by which I mean funniest angles. For the joke, you see.
You could argue that American football plays quite a bit like rugby football, Gaelic football, and Aussie Rules football though. Association football is the odd one that decided you literally can’t use your hands oh except the keeper and oh I guess throw-ins? Every other form of football involves handling the ball with your hands, including the older forms from which modern ones descended.
I think you’re looking at it through a modernist lens; a lens through which the role of horses is virtually nonexistent, and you have exposure to a wide range of international sports with different lineages. Basketball and handball are much newer than the concept of “football,” and share no history with it, so it’s no surprise that they didn’t wind up being called “football.”
The claim isn’t that everything played on foot should be called football (that would be a weird criterion, and not useful). The claim is that the group of sports called football are so called because they are played on foot, not because players are only allowed to use their feet.
It’s not a super widespread idea, but Wikipedia discusses it, so it’s at least not just something I made up.
Thank you! There are two wolves in my heart: One favors being snobby toward the way Americans say things. The other favors being pedantic about term specificity.
“Soccer” causes these wolves to fight.
“Football” is a term used to describe a wide range of field sports played on foot, as opposed to on horseback. It has nothing to do with whether or not you handle the ball with your hands.
Could you be more specific? Do you mean rugby football? Gridiron football? Gaelic football?
Oh! Maybe you meant association football. But that’s kind of long-- maybe we can just say “asoc football” to save time.
Actually now that I think of it, people just say “rugby” instead of “rugby football,” so maybe we can drop the “football” part as well, and just say “asoc.”
There we go, now we have a nice, unambiguous way to refer to the style of football that we’re interested in. Now I just hope the school children don’t mess it up the way they did with rugby, calling it “rugger…”
The main thing to know about Inscryption is that you wanna know as little as possible about Inscryption before you play.
Also if Inscryption works for you, check out the other Daniel Mullins games. He’s got mould-breaking down to his own quirky idiosyncratic science.
Yeah but you get a nice ramp-up period where you’re allowed to be bewildered and unproductive. In that time, you can probably pick out two or three grandiose changes (ideally with hot new technologies) to throw on the pile before that period ends, and use them as resume padding and interview stories for the next job.
Unlike the old developers, you aren’t complicit in the mess until a few years go by.
There’s a second-order thing going on though with tech debt that makes it different than just maintenance: Tech debt is when you address a problem in a way that makes future problems more difficult to address. So if the wire-and-tape fix is actually robust, easy to work around, and/or easy to reverse, then it wouldn’t be tech debt. But if it made it harder to unclog/clean the tap, or to fix the next leak, or install/remove things around it, then it would be like tech debt.
Good news, Lemmy! You will no longer be forced by big tech corporations to run uh… [checks notes] a version of Linux on your Steam Deck anymore!
Pretty good idea! Yeah, maybe the half duplex codec can connect with a weaker signal.
Or something. I don’t know that much about the protocol.
And it’s so weird that almost everyone seems to do it that way. I can’t think of a reason other than complacency of a non-golden path interaction.
There’s a type of attack where you put absurdly large inputs into fields that perform expensive calculations, like password hashing… So imagine 100 computers spamming the login form with the whole Bee Movie script 10x per second (which would be a pretty small attack)… Cheap to send, expensive to process. As others mention, the storage should be cheap, because the hashed version of the password is all the same length.
So it makes sense for apps to have SOME upper limit… But it should be like 64 or 100 or 128 or 500 or something. 12 or 16 or 20 is just obnoxious.
It’s not that it does NOTHING to improve security… An 8-character password with more options per character IS more complex (and in that sense, secure) than one with fewer.
It’s just that adding more characters (e.g. in a passphrase, as per your example) also increases complexity, and is more usable.
But you forgot the rule where it couldn’t be more than 12 characters long, so you didn’t try the correct variation until the validation error for the password reset told you what the rules are.
Seems like a cool concept that they just didn’t execute super well.
Like having two behavioral simulations (cast simulation interacting with props you place, and audience simulation that reacts to where you place the camera’s attention) that you need to navigate sounds cool, and bound to lead to some interesting and funny emergent experiences… but it sounds like the implementation was just undercooked.
I’d probably still give it a try on sale or something but g o d d a m m i t does that Corporate Memphis art style rub me the wrong way. Lmk when the San Andreas texture mod drops though.
Let me know if you find out lol
